Class ID: 1204 - Weave the Center, Knit the Edge: The Ligeia Stole Workshop Teacher: John Mullarkey Class Level: Advanced Beginner/Intermediate Class Type: All Day Class Date: Saturday August 2nd Class Time: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM Class Location: 5 The Ligeia Stole brings together two ancient arts--weaving and knitting--to create a finished piece that's both striking and elegant. In this full-day workshop, designers Franklin Habit and John Mullarkey will guide you through all the necessary steps, from weaving and joining the beautifully patterned elements of the pin-woven center; through the knitting-on of the matched lace edging. You won't believe how simple the tools and techniques are, and how quickly your own treasured stole will come together. No previous weaving experience is required! Note: This class is listed twice because it has 2 teachers. Because we listed it two times, each listing carries only half the maximum number of seats available. If the class is full here, please check under Franklin Habit's version here, as there may still be openings available in the class. Students Will Learn: Homework: None Class Prerequisites(Students should know): Students must be fluent in the basics of knitting, including casting on and binding off, yarn overs, increasing and decreasing, and basic chart reading. Previous weaving and sewing experience is not required. Students Should Bring: One skein smooth, non-fuzzy fingering or DK yarn in white or a light solid or semi-solid color; natural fibers (or predominantly natural blends) are preferred. (One full skein will suffice for class; to complete the full stole, you will need approximately 1400 yds of your yarn of choice.) Three double-pointed knitting needles, length 6-8 inches, size US 3 or 4�or of whatever size gives you a drapey gauge suitable for lace with your yarn of choice. Scissors. Tapestry needle.
